Did some looking around on the internet as usual and saw this nice teal blue colored Windtunnel. Was this a Hoover store exclusive? Ive seen the gray one next to it alot but the teal looks alot nicer.

Looks like a Hoover Tempo widepath. | ||

The full picture actually shows this Windtunnel and the Tempo are two different models entirely

That is uncommon. This photo is from a vacuum store that specialized in Hoover.
Hoover went through a phase with various Windtunnels with minimal logos and I'm not sure why. I prefer when they had the Windtunnel decal and more on them. The blue one is a basic 13" Windtunnel. The gray one next to it is a 15" Windtunnel Supreme. The deeper blue next to the gray Windtunnel is an a 15" Anniversary Windtunnel Supreme. | ||

I remember that thread very well. That's at Gregory's Sweeper Central in PA, the last official authorized Hoover dealer. Still open today if you want to give him a call; he left Vacuumland years ago.
I think I found a picture of the box for that machine on www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi.... It is a Windtunnel. The Tempo only had minuscule differences with the Windtunnels. I owned one years ago and if you took it apart to change the belt it still had the Windtunnel suction assembly. I'm not sure of the exact production dates but that style of Windtunnels was being phased out by that point. Wouldn't be surprised if they simplified the manufacturing to those final colors near the end. | ||

Honestly.....
I thinks this vac would've been much more intriguing if it had that much easier top tool storage, not the one with the plastic door. From all my uses of windtunnel cleaners, by far those are the most convenient ones. The ones with tool storage on thr back have a problem with firmly holding the tools in place.

In that same thread theres also this really nice old school mid line Windtunnel rebadged as the Professional Series. That would be cool to find.
